Not bad for a bankrupt! 50 Cent takes a ride in his gold plated Bentley... but eats an omelette at a budget diner

It seems 50 cent is finally learning to economise, in his own unique style.

The Candy Shop hitmaker - who filed for bankruptcy over a year ago - headed out for a budget omelette breakfast at his local no frills diner on Friday.

But, in true 50 style, he did so in a gold plated Bentley surrounded by security guards.

What a ride! The 41-year-old certainly stood out as he parked his fancy ride outside the Four Star Diner in Union City New Jersey, where an omelette costs less than $10 including potatoes and coffee

50 Cent was plunged into financial difficulties last year after he was ordered to pay Lastonia Leviston $7 million in damages for posting her sex tape on the Internet.

He soon filed for bankruptcy.

Friday's outing comes after 50 recently admitted he posed with fake money to boost his reputation.

He defended a number of his social media postings in a court submission filed earlier this year, insisting the images were not indicative of his actual wealth and were only posted to promote EFFEN Vodka and his music.

He stated in the filing: 'As a hip-hop artist and entertainer, it is imperative that I continue to project aspirational goals of success in order to preserve my brand and those I represent.

'What I say and what I do on social media has a direct impact on my music sales and the viewership on my television shows.'

The money used in several pictures - including one where the rapper spelled out the word 'Broke' using the notes - are said to be prop dollars used for music videos and photo shoots.
